Nico Williams ready for the big match at the Metropolitano
Good news for the Lions! Nico Williams, after a bout of flu that kept him resting, is ready to roar at the Metropolitano against Atlético. His return is a breath of fresh air for the team, especially after his goalscoring exhibition last Sunday.
Ernesto Valverde and Jon Aspiazu are relieved to have one of their key players available for this crucial encounter. The infirmary, however, offers no respite. Oihan Sancet, with a muscle injury, and Álvaro Djaló, suffering from a sprain, will be significant absentees for Athletic.
Both players have been training separately from the group, recovering from their respective ailments. Yuri Berchiche also did not go outside with the group during the minutes open to the press. But Nico Williams’ recovery is a reason for optimism.
His speed, skill and goalscoring ability will be essential to stand up to the Colchoneros on their own turf. Athletic fans are confident that the young winger will shine again and guide the team to victory in this important duel. Let’s go for it, Lions!
